Earthquake Atlas for Building Resiliency in Metro Davao Launched

Republic of the Philippines DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY PHILIPPINE INSTITUTE OF VOLCANOLOGY AND SEISMOLOGY PRESS RELEASE EARTHQUAKE ATLAS FOR BUILDING RESILIENCY IN METRO DAVAO LAUNCHED The Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (DOST – PHIVOLCS) reiterates the importance of structurally-sound buildings as part of earthquake preparedness through the launch of the Metro Davao Earthquake Model (MDEM) Atlas on September 4, 2019 at the Grand Regal Hotel in Lanang, Davao City. “Metro Davao is traversed by the Central Davao Fault System composed of Tamugan Fault, Lacson Fault, Dacudao Fault, Pangyan-Biao Escuela Fault and New Carmen Fault, which may produce earthquakes greater than magnitude 6.5,” says DOST Undersecretary Renato Solidum, Jr., Officer-In-Charge of PHIVOLCS. “The MDEM Atlas can be used as reference for engineers in the seismic design of buildings and structures, and will help minimize the impact of very destructive ground shaking and prevent casualties.” The Atlas is a compilation of maps showing seismic ground motion hazard assessment from various earthquake sources. Among the maps are Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) and Spectral Acceleration (SA), which were modelled using Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) through the collaborative efforts and expertise of engineers, seismologists, geologists and researchers from DOST – PHIVOLCS in consultation with various local stakeholders such as the Regional Development Council (RDC) XI, Association of Regional Executives of National Agencies (ARENA) XI, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) XI, Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) XI, Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines - Regional Coordinating Council (ASEP-RCC), Association of Structural Engineers of Davao, Inc. (SEAD), the academe, the Provincial Government of Davao del Norte and Davao del Sur, the Local Government Units of Tagum City, Carmen, Panabo City, Island Garden City of Samal, Sta Cruz, Digos City and Davao City. The MDEM Atlas can also be used as guide for earthquake impact assessment of national government agencies, Local Government Units (LGUs) in Metro Davao, engineering community, academe and the private sector. Copies of the Atlas will be distributed during the event. Stakeholders can also download the digital copy online from DOST – PHIVOLCS official website (www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph).

NO. 1165 Introduced by SENATOR JOEL VILLANUEVA AN ACT REQUIRING PARKING SPACE FROM MOTOR VEHICLE BUYERS IN METROPOLITAN AREAS AS A PRE-REQUISITE FOR THE PURCHASE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE AND REGISTRATION WITH THE LAND TRANSPORTATION OFFICE (LTO) EXPLANATORY NOTE There are twelve metropolitan areas in the Philippines, which are identified by the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA); Metro Manila, Angeles, Bacolod, Baguio, Batangas, Cagayan de Oro, Cebu, Dagupan, Davao, Iloilo, Naga! and Olongapo. It is in these areas that traffic congestion is prevalent. According to the data released by the crowd-sourcing site Numbeo.com, the Philippines is the fifth country in the world with the worst traffic conditions and third in Asia1. The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) claims that this traffic is expected to get worse in the next 15 years. The American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines corroborated this claim saying that Metro Manila may become uninhabitable within four years if roads and other infrastructure are not upgraded immediately2. Furthermore, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) indicated in a study that the financial cost of traffic congestion is likely to increase to P6 billion a day by 2030 if the situation is not addressed3. 1 Gonzales, Yuji Vincent. “PH has S'*1 worst traffic in the world - survey”. 4 September 2014, http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/719261/ph-has-5th-worst-traffic-in-the-world-survey.

Chapter 5 Improved Infrastructure and Logistics Support
Chapter 5 Improved Infrastructure and Logistics Support I. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Davao Region still needs to improve its infrastructure facilities and services. While the Davao International Airport has been recently completed, road infrastructure, seaport, and telecommunication facilities need to be upgraded. Flood control and similar structures are needed in flood prone areas while power and water supply facilities are still lacking in the region’s remote and underserved areas. While the region is pushing for increased production of staple crops, irrigation support facilities in major agricultural production areas are still inadequate. Off-site infrastructure in designated tourism and agri-industrial areas are likewise needed to encourage investment and spur economic activities. Accessibility and Mobility through Transport There is a need for the construction of new roads and improvement of the existing road network to provide better access and linkage within and outside the Region as an alternate to existing arterial and local roads. The lack of good roads in the interior parts of the municipalities and provinces connecting to major arterial roads constrains the growth of agriculture and industry in the Region; it also limits the operations of transport services due to high maintenance cost and longer turnaround time. Traffic congestion is likewise becoming a problem in highly urbanized and urbanizing areas like Davao City and Tagum City. While the Region is physically connected with the adjoining regions in Mindanao, poor road condition in some major highways also hampers inter-regional economic activities. The expansion of agricultural activities in the resettlement and key production areas necessitates the opening and construction of alternative routes and farm-to-market roads.

jhgjhgjhgjhgwrtwerwerkjhefwer Since January 2018, Operation Smile Philippines has conducted 6 surgical missions, treating a total of 452 patients. Over the last 36 years, Operation Smile has developed a comprehensive model for patient care and safety to ensure safe and highly effective surgical care is given to each and every patient. Beyond providing surgery, we also conduct medical consultations and evaluations through our screening process, which gives access to multidisciplinary specialties of surgery, anaesthesia, paediatrics, dentistry, speech therapy and nursing. As of August 2018, we have screened 748 cleft patients and operated on 452 of them across three international missions, three local missions and in our three cleft care centers. We conducted the international missions in three sites nationwide: Cebu City, Cebu; Bacolod, Negros Occidental; Dasmariñas, Cavite. Our three local missions took place in Laginayen, Pangasinan; Davao City, Davao; Aborlan, Palawan. A total of 255 volunteer cleft care professionals took part in those 6 missions. They came from more than 10 countries, including: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden, USA, Venezuela, and the Philippines. In addition to the missions, we also provided treatment in our three cleft centers in Manila at the Sta. Ana Hospital, in Bacolor, Pampanga at the Jose A. Datu Medical Center and in Davao City at the Metro Davao Research and Medical Center. ANZA-Sponsored Patients We applied the funds raised by ANZA totalling 2,698,200 PHP, to two international missions: Bacolod, Negros Occidental held from May 17-25; Dasmariñas, Cavite held from June 8-16. A total of 189 patients received surgery as a direct result of ANZA’s fundraising efforts.

Philippines: Urban Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map
Philippines: Urban Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map This publication documents the current assessment and strategic investment priorities of the Government of the Philippines and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in the country’s urban sector. It highlights sector performance, priority development constraints, government plans and strategies, past ADB support and experience, support of other development partners, and future ADB support strategy. The road map covers four main support areas: (i) preparation of a loan for the Philippine Solid Waste Management Sector Project in 2012 or 2013; (ii) future technical assistance (TA) and lending activities—to be discussed with the government—that may include a sector project for markets and transport terminals, which could further include land and sea transport facilities; (iii) projects of the Urban Development and Water Division of ADB’s Southeast Asia Department, which may suppo rt flood control and the efforts of communities to mitigate the effects of climate change; and further (iv) stand-alone policy and advisory TA or capacity development TA, to promote performance-oriented governance and overall strengthening of urban sector agencies, depending on requests from the government. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day.
